That's true.
A lot of people using it are not influencers though, and while I don't expect there to be a real transition for this use case, it's clear that for newer generations things are going to be less monolithic in terms of the job market.
Do you see there being any alternative option (not sure if Berner's Lee Solid can play a part here)?
A company called Velocity Labs has done a private blockchain where third parties issue credentials on a 'Career Wallet', but it's more on verification of employment, courses and such.
If you think about it, current solutions (including Linkedin's recommendations) are the same thing, just centralized.
Is there anything you see that is changing or that should though?
Asking since I imagine you may have your own perspective on this.
